BEHANDELING HART EN VAATZIEKEN

Corrij (therapeut i.o.) schreef:hello Bruce,

First of all, welcome to this forum.
Do you think your cardiologist would mind you using supplements to improve your health?
And could you find out if you can get the supplements by the makes of Solgar or Pharma Nord or Now?

I would appreciate it if you can answer the following questions. I know you already gave Willy some answers, but we always start by answering some questions so we get a more complete picture.

How did you notice you had it? <Breathlessness was a hint but after telling my doctor about it he ordered the EKG which indicated Atrial Fib.
I was sent to a cardiologist who did a nuclear stress test and echocardiagram that indicated dilated cardiomyopathy, a cardiac catherization showed no coronary artery disease.

When was this? Feb 10 2006

What is the cause of it, according to the cardiologist? No known causes. I am a large man (6'4'' 250 lbs, former college football player and have stayed active since)
What is your EJF %, pump function? Echocardiogram indicated EF at 30 and Cardiac Catherization one week later indicated 20.

How is your blood pressure, how high was it without medication and how high is it now? My blood pressure was normal before medications and slightly lower now.
What was your heart rate before and after the present medication? The Stress test measured my heartbeat at 160 bpm.
Did they examine whether your veins (neck or groin) let enough blood flow? No.
Do you suffer with decomposition or swollen ankles? No.
Are there certain things at the moment you can’t do anymore? Ive been ordered not to partake in team sports such as basketball and to avoid heavy lifting.

Can you still climb the stairs for instance? Yes, I climb many steps each day at work and home.

Or do you still do sports? No.
How does the cardiologist call your illness? We are seeing a new cardiologist on Monday, the other called it Dilated Cardiomyopathy with no known cause.
Do you suffer from allergies or have an intolerance to food or medicines?No.
Do you get tired quickly? Yes, much quicker then in my previous years.
Do you eat a lot of sugar? No.
After some exertion , do you quickly get short of breath? Yes.



Do you also suffer with cardiac arrhythmia? Atrial Fibrillation.
If this is so then there is a special test you can do to see if you have a shortage of potassium, this is often a cause of the problem.
You can see if this is the case with you by eating 4 or 5 ripe bananas a day. If you have cardiac arrhythmia and it gets less by eating the bananas then we can always proceed to taking potassium tablets. I will try the test.

At this moment I suggest stop taking your supplements your taking at this moment,we will added them in a later stage.

I suggest that you start with 200mcg Chromium GFT, you can start this without a problem.
MSM, the final dosage is 3000 mg but we’ll build it up slowly, I suggest 500 mg for the first few days, If this goes well then 500 extra untill you are at the 3000 mg.
You have to build it up slowly because MSM detoxifies and it can cause headache, diarrhoea or tiredness.
Msm and chromium are not a part of the heart failure protocol but they are meant to give you more energy.

Furthermore I would like to advice you to start with acetyl L-Carnitine 3x 500 mg a day.
